Biography
Mark Field was born in Hanover, West Germany in 1964 to a British Army major and his German wife, and he became a solicitor at Chester in 1990. He worked as a corporate lawyer before becoming involved in Conservative Party politics, and he was elected MP for the Cities of London and Westminster in 2001. He was originally one of the party's most hardline right-wingers, criticizing AIDS charities as a "gay rights front". On 13 June 2017, he was appointed Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific at the Foreign Office, but he was suspended on 21 June 2019 after a video surfaced of him assaulting a Greenpeace activist at a Mansion House dinner on 21 June 2019.
